Quince

Today was a really boring day, too much rain. I was studying I Corinthians, this morning it was pretty good. Had my usual large cup of coffee, to start the day @ work. My heart was so burden for our church families today, so I prayed. Prayed so hard it was unbelievable, what God can do just praying. My wife took Mike to piano practice today, so David & I were home alone. I was chatting with my best friend from Louisiana John, J your my best friend in Texas ok. We had a good chat really helped me out, after we stopped chatting, I went to the room to pray, & little David interrupts me of course, he taps me gently on the shoulder & whispers "Daddy". With my eyes full of tears, I said,"Yes, My Baby". He then tells me, "can I pray with you". Awe man talk about a knot in my throat, " I tell him yes baby of course you don't have to ask, when daddy is praying you just come in & pray with daddy". So we were praying for everyone @ church pew by pew, visualizing everyone where they sit, the preacher & his family, & if I would forget someone David would let me know. We prayed for a good hour or so it was so heartwarming. Then he asked for prayer for his lions, so we prayed for his lions. Kids are great why cant we just serve God like that, I apologized to God for falling short, for all my faults that I could remember, we need to confess our sins, get our heart right with the Lord in order for our prayer to reach heaven, not just hit the ceiling, & bounce back. So we ate caldo today that was good, mmmm, then later hot chocolate. I just pray my boys see the good things done for the Lord, not the things we don't do for the Lord, kids are like sponges, my friend J says. They see the things we do, & don't do, they will always look up to us no matter what, they will think the things we like are cool, they will dislike the same things we dislike, So serve God with all your might, & let the Kiddos see that, not for show but that you really love Jesus with your heart not you lips. Pray for my family, I will pray for yours, I even prayed for my blogger family, & there families, Just pray, if you can get a prayer through, just pray. Prayer we all need it. How do you think we got saved someone was praying for us someway somehow. God is Good, All the time, All the time, God is good.

david freaks me out, in a good way, with the things he says. Especially when it comes to praying, getting saved.

Hopefully is will be a great man of God also.

so cool man.

@ J, yeah he has a mind that only God knows what he is doing, I pray he & all my boys are used of God some how to preach or teach or just be a worker in the church, as long as they are serving God in His perfect will for their lives.

@ Van Pelt, Always, praying for you guys
